We are officially experiencing the last Mercury Retrograde
of 2019. On October 31, 2019, Mercury
stationed retrograde in 27 degrees of Scorpio.
On that day I tweeted:
#MercuryRetrograde starts today in 27 degrees of Scorpio. Be prepared for delays and snafus in communications and transportation for the next few weeks. Even Halloween may be delayed on the east coast due to rain! #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) October 31, 2019
Mercury was conjunct Venus in Scorpio when it stationed
retrograde so relationship issues may need to be dealt with in a more passionate
and probing manner. The conjunction to Venus could also affect our finances.
Mercury technically entered its shadow period on October
12, 2019, will station direct on November 20, 2019 and clear its shadow period
on December 7, 2019. I have noticed that
many people begin to experience problems when Mercury enters its shadow period
only to resolve them during the actual retrograde. Mercury will finally leave
the sign of Scorpio on December 9, 2019.
What else can we expect with Mercury retrograde in Scorpio?
It will be a very deep and psychological time.
We may very well find ourselves reviewing an emotional situation from
our past that wasn’t fully processed during this Mercury retrograde. It’s not uncommon for people from our past to
pop up when Mercury is retrograde.
Mercury retrograde in Scorpio can also reveal secrets, which may be good
or bad. Emotional turmoil, suspicions and insecurities could also surface
during this Mercury retrograde. The best way of dealing with this energy is to
trust our intuition. The last time we had a Mercury retrograde in Scorpio was
in October 2014 and that one started in 2 degrees of Scorpio and ended in 16
degrees of Libra, so it wasn’t a full blown Mercury retrograde in Scorpio. But
we could be facing similar themes and issues from five years ago. When a planet is retrograde, especially
Mercury, it’s a prime opportunity to reflect on what was going on in the past
and discern if there are any parallels today.
If you have any planets between 11-28 degrees of Scorpio or
any of the fixed signs of Aquarius, Taurus or Leo, I can predict that you will
feel this Mercury retrograde big time. I
am definitely in this category: my sun, Venus, Saturn, and Ceres in Scorpio
will be conjuncted while my Mars in Aquarius and Pluto in Leo will be
squared. The bottom line with this
Mercury retrograde in Scorpio is that something is dying and transforming on a
physical or psychological level.
And don’t forget to turn your clocks back on Saturday
night, November 2, 2019 before you go to sleep for Daylight Savings Time! Mercury retrograde could make it very easy
for us to overlook this.
But we do have a ray of light this week. Venus is leaving Scorpio on November 1, 2019
and camping out in Sagittarius until November 25, 2019. This is a much lighter
vibe for relationships than Venus in Scorpio and we are more inclined towards
optimism, confidence and a willingness to take risks. We want to have fun and crave new adventures
as we seek excitement and pleasure. Truth and a quest for higher meanings
become real priorities while Venus is in Sagittarius. Just be mindful that the shadow side of Venus
in Sagittarius is that we could be desiring instant gratification which could
very well lead to excessive spending.
Venus in Sagittarius will have a significant impact on
relationships. On November 3, 2019,
Venus in Sagittarius will trine Chiron in 2 degrees of Aries, which can add
some honesty as a tool for healing old emotional wounds. On November 5, 2019, Venus in Sagittarius is
inconjunct Uranus in 4 degrees of Taurus.
Inconjuncts are notorious for being uncomfortable and irritating because
they require some adjustments or compromises.
Ironically, this is also Election Day in the United States, and while it’s
not a major election day as 2020 promises to be, we could still experience some
upheavals on this day.
If you
are curious as to how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please
consider getting an astrological reading. I am now offering short telephone astrology
consultations for 30 minutes which are available for purchase on the Services Offered
page of my site. These are extremely affordable at the cost of $35.
I have been doing more work with tarot readings, which I
love, so I decided to create a new combination reading which offers the option
of a 30 minute astrology consultation with a one question tarot reading for
only $50. There is something for everyone and my menu of services can
accommodate any budget.
Since I love to talk astrology and believe in making it
more available to everyone, I am now offering pay by the minute astrology
readings through Click 4Advisor. Check
it out at:
This might be the perfect way for you to get a taste of
what astrology can do for you in terms of providing insight into your life
during these challenging time. Obviously
the 30 minute readings are the best deal, but you might be surprised by how
much you learn in 10 minutes or less from a brief glance at your chart. If I am
not available you can always request a callback and I will respond quickly.
My site also offers the opportunity to provide a donation
in the amount of your choice to demonstrate your support for my blog and daily
astrological insights on Twitter at:
A
contribution in any amount is deeply appreciated as gratitude is a daily part
of my spiritual practice.
Recently I undertook an intensive life purpose coaching
training program and became certified as a Life Purpose Coach. It was an intense, eye-opening experience
that changed my life as it caused me to reflect on the story of my life. But I left it with feelings of hope and light
for the future that I want to share with others. To that end, I am now offering Life Purpose
Coaching to my menu of services. You can
read more about it at:
As an astrologer, I have decided to include an interpretation
of the north node by sign. If you are feeling stuck and need some help in
getting from Point A to Point B in your quest for making positive changes in
your life, please email me at lindasim54@gmail.com
to schedule a complementary telephone consultation to discover if you are a
good fit for this program. I look
forward to hearing from you.
I am also available for tarot readings in person if you are
in the Boston area or by telephone if you are unable to travel to my home in
Newton, MA. I use the Celestial Tarot
Deck, which I love because it contains so many astrological symbols. A tarot reading is another great option for
obtaining insight and clarity.
If you are in the Boston area, please consider getting a
Reiki treatment at Acupuncture for Everyone in Copley Square to destress,
revitalize and remove blockages to healing.
It’s a perfect way to start your weekend off and can also be described
as a spa for the soul to boot! Reiki is
the most profound treatment for stress relief because it concentrates on
CALMING your body.

more information on my Reiki services, please see this page on my site:
For
my clients who can’t fit Friday into their schedule for a treatment or have
difficulty traveling, I have also recently begun doing distance Reiki sessions
for them. I have a conversation with them
about what they hope to achieve from a session, we set up a time for the
session to take place when they will be in a state to receive healing energy
and I follow up with a telephone conversation to discuss their experience and
my perception of their blockages. I have
also incorporated a new technique with my distance Reiki treatments since I
don’t always have a photo of my client.
I use a teddy bear so that I can scan and focus the healing energy where
it is needed. If this appeals to you, please feel free to contact me by email
at lindasim54@gmail.com or
call me at 617-304-2205. I am also
offering Reiki treatments at my home in Newton, MA on Wednesday and Thursday
afternoons and in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline on Sunday
afternoons. Recently I have added online
booking for my Sunday clients on my site.

I
was also featured in the July 3, 2017 edition of Boston Voyager, an online
publication that runs a section called Inspiring Stories about local
entrepreneurs on its home page. The
Scorpio moon was trining the Cancer sun and Neptune in Pisces on that day, so
my story certainly debuted under fitting aspects. Please feel free to check it out:
